purple, and striped Globe Amaranthus, Tricolor Amaranthus, 
Double Balsams and Martynia annua; Browallia, Scarlet Ipomoea, 
Capsicums in sorts, Serpent Cucumber and Squirting Cucumber, 
White and Purple Egg-plant; Cleome, purple, white, and dwarf 
Dolichos, with many other kinds. The whole of the preceding 
sorts, may be sown in small patches in the borders, interspersing 
the kinds, so as to form a well assorted variety and a long succes- 
sion of bloom. If to be sown in patches observe the directions giv- 
en for sowing hardy annual flower seeds, in page 158, &c. which 
will now be perfectly applicable to these. Such as you wish to sow 
in small beds for transplanting, let them be sown as directed, for 
perennial and biennial flower seeds, in page 353, observing always, 
to give each kind, a depth of covering, in proportion to the size of 
the seed. 
Let the beds or patches, be frequently watered, in dry weather, 
both before and after the plants appear; and when they have been 
up a few weeks, let all the large growing kinds be thinned, where 
they have risen too thick; observing to transplant into other places, 
where wanted, some of the best you pull up, of the kinds that suc- 
ceed in that way: thin the others as directed in May, &c. 
Any of the smaller growing kinds, such as mignonette, ten -week 
stock, Brawallia, sensitive plant, ice plant, &c. may be sown in pots, 
and if duly watered and kept clean, will arrive at good perfection; 
but the two last, will require the protection of glasses for some 
time. 
Sowing Carnation and Pink Seeds. 
Carnation and Pink seeds, may be sown, any time this month. 
As it is from seed, that all new varieties are obtained, you should 
sow some every year; and if you have but one good variety from 
each sowing, there can be no reason to complain; as this may after- 
wards be abundantly propagated, by layers, or slips. The fine 
double kinds seldom ripen seed, but semi-doubles do very plenfei-
